Benny's Pov

I was just walked up to the house that mama and dad raised me and my brother's and my sister. This is where my son is being raised right now. I hear mama and dad talking out back. I looked over at Billy's and Sophie's place and I hear them all talking. 4 years ago they had there twins' Ariel and Addison who just like Angeletta are daddy's girls. Thank God, I had a son. I don't know what I would have done if I had a daughter to raise. Tyler was more then enough for me. I just walked on the front porch and knocked on the door. I waited until it was opened by my mama. I had a big smile on my face. I think I scared her a little bit. All she did was look at me. 

" Hi mama." I said to her. Mama looked at me and stared to cry. 

" Benny is that you?" Mama asked me. I walked over to her and kiss her and gave her a big hug. I was still in my army clothes. 

" Yes it is mama. I've missed you like crazy." I told mama. 

" Benny all of these years I was---" Dad cut her off. 

" Baby why are you and Tyler still-- Benny." Dad said. I walked over to him. 

" Hi dad." I said to him. Dad looked at me and then pulled me into a big hug. Man I've missed my family like crazy. I was looking around the room and I couldn't fine my little man no where? 

" When did you get back Benny?" Dad asked me. 

" Just now sir. Where's Tyler at?" I asked them. 

" He's right here a minute ago." Mama said. Right then Lila an Brennan walked into the living room. Brennan was just as tall as I was and Lila had a big smile on her face. 

" Come here you two." I told them. Brennan and Lila ran to me. We all hugged and It was good seeing them again. 

" I've missed you two so much." I told them. Hell, I've missed all of them. I've been away for 2 long years with out coming home at all. 

" We missed you too." Lila told me. 

" Brennan go and tell your brother who's back." Mama said. 

" Yes mama." Brennan said running out of the house. I was looking around and I saw Tyler hiding behind the couch. I walked over to him. 

" Hey Little man." I said sitting on the ground next to him. 

" Do you remember me." I asked him. Tyler shook his head no. I knew this might happened if I was gone for to long. I smiled at him. I might have to take my time with this.  

" I'm your dad." I told him. 

" Nana told me my daddy lives in another country." Tyler told me. He's talking great for being only 5 years old. Damn, I was a real jack ass for being away to long. 

" That's right I was living in a different country, but I'm home for a while now. I've missed you like crazy. Maybe now that I'm back we can do something. I will be living here as well." I told him. 

" I have to go see grandpa John." Tyler told me. I knew Tyler see's his other grandpa. John loves his grandson a lot. I don't mine him seeing him, but his mother, Tara. Nope. If I found out she saw him I might loose it. 

" That's cool. I can take you if you will like." I told him. 

" Nana does it for me every Saturday." Tyler told me. I watched him got up and walked over to my mama. Mama picked him up. 

" Benny, I can call John and tell him you are back home?" Mama told me. I got up and walked over to them. 

" No, Tyler wants to see grandpa John. Don't you buddy." I asked him. I tried to put my hand to his face, but he moved. I'm going to have to take this nice and slow. 

" Come on little man. Honey I will be home in a few." Mama told me. I looked at her and gave her a smile. 

" Bye buddy." I told him. Tyler just gave me a little wave. I watched as they all walked out of the home. I looked around at my family.  

" I'm going to put my bag in my old room." I said. I can't let them see me cry. Dad never did cry in front of us. Billy never did. And I will not do the same. 

" Okay son. When you get done come down stares and we can talk again." Dad told me. I was about to go up stares when the door flew opened and it was Billy, Sophie, Angeletta, Ariel and Addison. 

" Dad what's wrong? Brennan said something happened to you? Are you okay. You didn't have another one of your spells did you? Where is mama at? Dad are you okay? Talk to me." Billy asked me. What spell's does dad have? 

" Son, I'm okay, but look who is here?" Dad said. Billy looked at me. 

" Yeah, so what it's only Benny? Dad are you okay I mean the way Brennan came running in to the house---- Benny? What are you doing here?" Billy said to me. 

" I'm on leave for a couple of months. Dad what Spells do you have?" I asked him. I walked over to him. 

" Son, I'm fine. I just needed to see the doctor's on a few things. But your old man is fine. Now go and see your brother and sister in law and your nieces okay." Dad told me. I walked over to my brother's family. He is so damn lucky. He has a wife at home who cooks, cleans, raise a family with. I would kill for all of that. 

" Benny, I've missed you like crazy." Sophie told me. She's still the same after all of these years. She's still a real sweet heart and a good wife and a great mother. Billy got lucky with this one let me tell you. 

" I've missed you all. Hi sweeties. You got big since I saw you two last." I said to Ariel and Addison. When Sophie had them I stayed home with Angeletta and Tyler, when every one went to the hospital. Ariel was only 3 pounds and 2 Oz and Addison was 4 pounds and 1 Oz. Tiny babies, but they are fine now. Thank you god. 

" We are big girls now uncle Benny." Ariel said to me. Thank God I can tell them apart. Ariel has brown hair and Addison has blonde hair like her mother. 

" Yes you are." I said to the. I walked over to my big brother Billy. 

" Dude, I'm so glad you are home. I've missed you." Billy told me. 

" I've missed you too. Listen I'm going to change. I'll be right back." I said running to my old room. 

When I got there there was a lot of pictures on the wall of me and Tyler. Tyler and my parents. Tyler and John. Tyler and Sophie, Lila, and the girls. There was last years Christmas pictures. I sat on the bed and started to cry. I might have missed the last 2 years of this kids life, but I'm going to make it up right here and right now. I need to. Tyler needs me in his life and I want to be there for him. He helped me in so many way's, so now I need to do the same for my son.
